Premenarcheal gymnasts possess higher bone mineral density than controls

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that in premenarcheal gymnasts bone mineral density (BMD) was higher than the control subjects and fat mass was higher in controls than gymnasts. Research also showed that higher BMD in gymnasts independent of age, height and weight.

Relationship between energy deficits and body composition in elite female gymnasts and runners

Article Abstract:

The relationship between energy deficits and body composition has been studied in 42 elite female gymnasts and runners. Findings indicate that within-day energy deficits are associated with higher body fat percentage in the anaerobic and aerobic athletes. Athletes would do well not to follow restrained or delayed eating patterns. The energy deficits are measured based frequency and/or magnitude of deficit.

Serum IGF-I is higher in gymnasts than runners and predicts bone and lean mass

Article Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between insulin-like growth factor levels, bone mineral density, and body composition in female runners and gymnasts. Results indicate that bone density, lean body mass, and levels of insulin-like growth factor were higher in gymnasts than in runners despite similar caloric intake between groups.
